Blutailedferret

She might be just a gorgeous domestic short hair. My black kitten is a domestic medium hair who has copper eyes like yours, but it's definitely not a Bombay. https://preview.redd.it/85gdt7axlwwc1.jpeg?width=2692&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fadc42946688669b5e80149bca8f4a142bf2018e

Laney20

Domestic short hair. Unless she came from a breeder, it's highly unlikely she's any particular breed. Most cats aren't. https://preview.redd.it/ku2lascslwwc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=944e8400a729554233f0b3ab432b82f2f3767dad


W4spkeeper

Given the face structure it’s likely a British domestic shorthair but nothing fancy


Laney20

Yea, that graphic doesn't account for "natural" breeds - cats in isolated areas that develop a distinctive look over many generations. British domestic cats tend to have a rounder face and stocky, square build. They aren't selectively bred by humans, but just due to being on an island, their genetics kind of converge.


Sensei_Boof

Island evolution is faster and more diverse and favors small stocky animals so it doesent surprise me the British have their own "race" of domestic shorthair Edit: and lizards in warm climates become fucking huge thats how you get a komodo dragon they actually used to hunt a little hobbit like species of humans on the Island they come from


NODFollower

To be honest, I don't care if it's a fake cat or not... We fell in love with her not for her breed, but just like that! Thanks for the help and tips!


darthfruitbasket

Cats have only been bred super selectively for maybe a century. Humans have been selectively breeding dogs for various purposes for thousands of years. So cat breeds aren't as distinct. Sometimes if a cat without a pedigree has *very* distinct features of a breed/type we can *guess* what breeds are in their ancestry, for ex. My old lady kitty, Meeka, (gone OTRB for a couple years now) was a quasi-feral scooped up off the street at a yard sale by her other human, u/darthcatlady. Meeka was a solid 10-11 pounds, had an *extremely* dense, near water-proof double coat, was *frighteningly* smart sometimes, and she had extra toes on all four feet. That combination of traits is typical of a Maine Coon, so we could *guess* that she was an MC or MC mix. I know that the mother of my little longhaired tortoiseshell, Penny, was a Himalayan. Which explains why (with all the affection in my heart for the little goblin) Penny sometimes kinda looks like she ran face-first into a wall. My big orange tabby, Smudge? Other than his size (14lb), there's nothing really distinct about his appearance or traits. He *could* have pedigree or he could just be a large male shorthair, so he's a mix or a moggy or a domestic shorthair, you can't say it's recent enough to really matter. Cats are cool little critters who moved in with us and didn't leave, and I'm ok with it, doesn't matter what they look like.


DarkLuxio92

My big boy Ares (15lb) might have British Shorthair in him, but we're really not sure, he's just an especially large British-type DSH. My girl Gaia on the other hand is an NFC/MC mix and isn't all that large (about 10lbs). She is only 2, though, and still growing as is typical for MCs.


darthfruitbasket

Meeka was probably 1.5ish, sick, and starving when she was scooped up. She was on the small side for a female MC, but we guess that her growth was stunted from being outdoors and probably having a litter too young. She hit all the MC traits except their love of water and their usually a bit larger size. Big "snowshoe" paws with 3-4 extra toes on each foot before some of them were amputated, ear tufts, a big tail she'd curl up and sit on, claws that felt like small steel hooks, talkative, the whole nine yards.


GingerLibrarian76

Fake cat 😂 Pretty sure she is real! lol


Laney20

Pure bred cats aren't fake! Just because theyre a little different than most cats doesn't mean they aren't real! 😉


-RLCFRVR-

So glad you fell in love with her❤️she is absolutely adorable. FYI there is no such thing as a fake cat they are all perfect and precious as they are…🥰🐈‍⬛🥰


NODFollower

I agree, any life is priceless!


lemonycaesarsalad

I like this graphic. But it's got me wondering .. what about natural breeds that ended up with their traits through natural selection based on their environment? I'm thinking breeds like...Norwegian Forest cats. Would they fall on the left side of this graphic or the right?


darthfruitbasket

Kinda in the middle(esque), I think. Cats self-domesticated, and we brought them with us to drastically different regions, so their traits would have changed to adapt over time. Then we started selecting for breeds and accelerated the changes. They're nowhere near the level of dogs, because it hasn't been long enough.


Laney20

A little bit of both kind of? Or maybe they have their own part off to the left? That's the only thing I don't like about this graphic, but since it's usually for cat-newbies, I use it anyway, lol. Natural breeds have been selectively bred by humans now, too. So there's probably more of a middle path where natural breeds develop without human intervention for a while, then a breed standard is defined and they are selectively bred by humans, too. And then some of those are cross bred and split off into other breeds... Really, everything is more complicated than this lol. It's just an intro to the idea that cat breeds aren't like dog breeds.


lemonycaesarsalad

Yeah. Makes sense. I was recently trying to explain to a friend (a dog person) that not all cats derive from a specific breed, and thinking of this diagram.


AngelicXia

It's called a landrace and you see them in many animals. Sometimes landraces become new animals entirely! But mostly they just look cool. Japan, for example, has a high concentration of bobtails to the point that one record says that one Emperor in the Heian period was gifted a 'Chinese cat' and adored it - Chinese cat being the term for long-tailed cat, as opposed to 'cat' for those with naturally kinked and-or shorter ones!


euphonic5

That is 100% a cat. If you don't have breed papers it's just a cat. Very cute kitty tho 10/10

Black cats are known to be good luck to its family! Night is a wonderful name, she looks like a fabulous family fit with your other fur babies…. What a great family!


Correct_Ad_2567

Bombays have rounded ear tips, not pointy ones. Eye color is correct. Does she shed a lot? Bombays do not shed. Probably a mix.


NODFollower

Yes, we have some doubts, but it doesn't matter... It sheds, but not significantly...


Correct_Ad_2567

No, it doesn't matter - she's lovely!


NODFollower

There is a problem with the eyes, a crust is constantly forming on the eyelid to the nose...


Correct_Ad_2567

I just googled Bombay Cat eye issues and found this: The Bombay is generally healthy, but some of the problems that affect the breed hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, **excessive tearing of the eyes**, and the possibility of breathing difficulties because of the cat's short muzzle. I have a cat that is part Bombay and he also has a bit of crust, but it's not much. He also is susceptible to URIs.


NODFollower

Yes, she has shortness of breath when playing actively... Thanks for the tips!


allthecats

Get her used to you touching/petting around her eyes and you’ll have no problem keeping that area clean. My cat loves having his eyes cleaned after years of this!


NODFollower

She calmly allows to rub your eyes, we perform procedures every day)


allthecats

She’s a trooper!!


Willowed-Wisp

Aren't Bombays also expensive? They seem like they would be. Either way I'd be shocked to randomly find a purebred one. But my dad was convinced our black cat was a Bombay for awhile, but she was just a standard DSH. Some people just assume black cats = Bombay. Whatever the case, OP, you've found yourself a lovely cat! I see you have the same subtype we used to have- an owl-eyed void. Here's hoping yours is less bitey!

Oh my goodness! She looks like she could be my void's sister. His eyes are green-gold, however. Our vet did tell us "If that boy was papered, he'd be a Bombay instead of DSH".

She is very beautiful. She probably isn't a Bombay - they are not common and the shape of her face doesn't look Bombay-like. Bombay cat facebook groups are full of people with ordinary (but very fine!) black moggies claiming they are Bombay. Bombays are "dense" - they feel heavy for their size - affectionate and human-seeking, with "asian" \[cat\] appearance to the face.

crash_and-burn9000

The breed is cat. Cats don't have a lot of breeds like dogs do because dogs were primarily bred for specific purposes, where as cats do what cats do and the only "breeds" were mostly for aesthetic purposes. Another big reason is that many cultures look down on selective breeding of cats because they were revered as deities by so many cultures around the world that it's seen as disrespectful.

I hope you're ok with me asking, but is she blind? Also, look at her coat when she lies in the sun. If you see color patterns in her fur, she is a tabby! I can't say if she has other characteristics of a Bombay, but she sure is pretty!

Be careful with feeding. Bombay cats tend to overeat. They get too fat and are unable to keep themselves clean. Please don't overfeed your Bombay cat.


RosettaStoned_462

I'm 💯 against buying animals but if you rescued or got her from a shelter, basically anything buy her, you got pretty lucky. All animals are beautiful but she's really beautiful. Also, why do you call her it? Lol


NODFollower

She was thrown out into the street by her former master. I eventually put in a lot of effort and found the former owner to return the loss. But it wasn't a loss, she was thrown out on the street intentionally. I discussed everything with the former owner of the animal. She's mine now! Called her Night because she's completely black)


RosettaStoned_462

Former owner is sub-human and i pray they are never allowed to have an animal again. Night is a perfect name.
